superstorm sandy claims at least thirteen lives that's islams of the east coast america forcing barack obama and mitt romney to hunker down just days ahead of the presidential election. no bailout needed space and its prime ministers and says their countries don't need help but the latest economic forecast sounds financial collapse as a new. moscow hits out of foreign powers for refusing to negotiate with all the signs in the syrian conflict that's after more violence follows a yuan brokered truce.

to russia and around the world this is all see with me thanks for joining us the race for the u.s. presidency has been struck by superstorm sandy which hit hard at america's eastern seaboard packing a deadly punch that claimed at least thirteen lives before losing some steam as it moved further inland at least five million have been left without electricity in several states an explosion at a power plant in new york plunged a large part of the city into darkness have the rains are expected to continue for at least another twenty four hours into the flooding in their area now reports now from the eye of the storm and there's the blackout. superstorm has been reading all a lot of havoc on new york and nearby state downtown lower manhattan but battery park there are some devastating scenes unfolding the search the tide has come about search and lower manhattan is literally underwater and we have seen throughout the city some cranes color. saying the building on the west side of manhattan has

collapsed tens of thousands of people have been displaced from their homes millions are now without power me included and clearly this storm is not over and we don't know how bad it's going to get is from horse to horse else you are in manhattan but you can't disregard the the outer boroughs like the queens and brooklyn and staten island. all of all of new yorkers right now are suffering i should extend that to all those living in new jersey virginia maryland along the east coast this is this is a brutal storm and may be easing up but clearly it's causing significant damage a sandy is clearly becoming a huge player in this two thousand and twelve election u.s. president barack obama and his opponent mitt romney they both have suspended their campaigning events for monday and tuesday president obama returned to washington d.c. he addressed the nation about the series weather conditions told americans as this

is a very extreme and ruby a serious storm and everyone should be taking this circumstance very seriously now on the gallup poll what's interesting is that they have announced that they are suspending their daily election cooling due to this hurricane hurricane sandy it's not clear when they will be good polling again but sandy is likely to affect early voting now early voting typically helps identify problems but we don't know what kind of damage will be caused by next week how are people going to get to the polls in six or seven days that is the major concern but that's something that we can insist pete and we until we see the opera math. to us but as tom hayden says sunday could help arrive with a vote on it between the current that's the destroying the legitimacy of the election the term shilly the east coast early voting is big. and wiped out

in these cities and states the voting of the elderly on the election day the voting of the poor on election day the voting that of new yorkers on election day is likely to be diminished through no fault of their own and that will affect the outcome of the election but at the same time it's extremely possible to manipulate the computers so if it's a close election it will be protested and contested as illegitimate for days and days and into the future just as the election between gore and bush. was seen by most americans as stolen that could happen again so we are in for a an electoral crisis i think of a very very profound nature. and even as wall street closed on in the face of sunday anti corporate okupe i actually still believe the bonkers will come out try

the presidential campaign has become the most expensive in u.s. history with major corporations pouring billions into comics and independent journalists a mess and believes this will keep the occupy movement growing even often action day. presidential election the united states really sucks all of the oxygen out of the room there is essentially no political work that can be done during an election i would say that the many different organizing projects that different you know organizers and instrumental motivators in occupy have taken on in this period where without you know. actually argue quite well for the future of the movement that there's a moment of political maturation happening among occupiers and i think. you know occupy wall she was really useful in that it introduced everybody to each other in heat everyone a. common conceptual framework for understanding the problems and now people are organizing in solidarity with one another in a in a really promising way but essentially the story of american politics is that it is

completely incapable of reforming it is intransigent it is in the death grip of a system of corporate acquisition and accumulation that it simply cannot get out of . and we have no live updates on so based on sunday or now what science and coverage of the presidential race also continues as we take on well the mainstream is missing and you can watch the final round of debates between the third party candidates rihanna next monday. you know we both agree we agree we had to bring the tax rates down i felt the same as the president did. you agree let's go back to something the president i agree are there to view that the voters have a choice perhaps you wondered who to vote for where romney and obama agree on so many things where you do have other options come november sixth tune in to see the second round of debates between the major third party candidates right here on our

t.v. . spain and italy is from ministers are denying claims their countries will be seeking financial help any time soon mario monti and mariano rajoy house trance that getting bailout cash is not in the interest of the people but as countries have already faced mass protests with people venting their frustration over biting spending cuts that estates are trapped in a severe recession with unemployment numbers are reaching alarming heights and financial expert patrick young says the leaders claims of a no bailout future borders on it is that. we've got the italian and spanish leaders who obviously don't read their own newspapers i mean just to give an example last week the spanish said they would launch an eighteen billion euro from to be allowed the regions by today can the ninth region have claimed their little share of the pile and they've already therefore got commitments for seventeen point six billion up to nine regions of space and there are lots of other regions that are bankrupt to go certainly should be in desperately need to be

a large italy we'll be lucky to escape with one mr rudd holywell good on history as the man who ultimately signed the euro through an unbelievable pigheaded obstinacy when he simply refused to appreciate the fact that he'd let his country slip backwards and ultimately the spanish economy at the moment is going towards where it was about nine hundred seventy two when franco was still alive and well. meanwhile greece is being forced to introduce one hundred fifty more financial reforms by its international creditors this as a. journalist was arrested after publishing a list of the country's top tug's daughters that secret swiss bank accounts cost us a box of on its side of the same information was given to the greek authorities two years ago by christine legarde who was the french finance minister at the time however they are so it has decided not to act on it and legal experts george could regardless. should have been investigated then and that. baby could not use it at the court exactly because it was not legal. but the

investigating these names become the glick that so i think the system early but i was here using a pretext it's now that the jungle is the obvious in this material he's still going after these suspects it's the law suspects the reason they're going after the lowest. grade i believe to be a little different is a good sentiment of injustice that the now i would hate to see these in this field . would be some subset of these people didn't know that we all face enough so maybe he needs to be used with most of these old horrify no surprise but it could be. good enough to go to do justice to go to political terms. and later in the program we'll tell you how the crisis is pushing some to find. people who rob banks go to prison banks to real people get paid bonuses that has to

stop so appalled by the economic woes and furious with the banks why the british businessman find his own way to support the local community will bring you this story and much more in a couple of their. course . susan bayonets big bird these are the words of internet legend from the two thousand and twelve presidential debates when a candidate says something dumb or odd to so much fun to make silly pictures like these on the internet ho ho hee hee but the problem is that the person who wins the bait is the one who makes the best argument not he who doesn't make a verbal slip ups people react to these debates like schoolgirls picking prom queen or rummy talked about big bird who howard dean screamed yeah gaffes don't matter

that much it matters if the ideas the candidates present are effective or not but more importantly it matters if they will actually do them if a future candidate proposed a brilliant economic plan that could save america but instead of saying pennies let the word penis slip our gossip celebrity culture would make him lose the election for sure as a potent army of photoshop would have hundreds of copper fellas is drawn all over the internet by the next day a schoolgirl attitude towards politics won't do anything except make fun internet names but that's just my opinion. download the official publication cellphone choose your language stream quality and enjoy your favorites from alzheimer's t.v. is not required to watch on t.v.

operating in syria and russia believes foreign states should take responsibility for the functions and see where they support and convince them to lay down arms policy explains now why did the west start biting the opposition and aiding rushing trying to cross the our world is not the solution to the continued calles. things have gone from bad to worse in a region powered by the hope of change not so long ago in libya one year after the revolution that gas shells and artillery reportedly being used against peaceful civilians lebanon is on the brink of civil war and syria is already fighting one idiot there is a process of another reformatting of the geo political map of the middle east when various players try to secure their own political position we consider this counterproductive such measures imposed from outside can never give a stable long term result. this is the result of waste and efforts to encourage the

so-called democratization of the arab countries in ruins tens of thousands killed and hundreds of thousands made me feel cheese but western nations it seems are still not ready to stop we are going to do everything we can to make sure that we are helping the opposition and to further pressure and isolate the regime seeing syria remove assad is a very high priority for us and it's not me a lip service washington and its european allies our system the rebels to get rid of assad i'm sure of one thing the syrian regime will never find its place among the community of nations it has no future among us that is why france will recognize a. no government representing the new free syria wants it's been awful me but if assad goes it's almost guaranteed that the carnage will continue. to shut us out protects minorities including the christians that have lived in syria hundreds of years even though the street just estimates of the situation received from

a west european partners says that it leaks one third of the population still back a son regarded him as a person destined not to let syria turn enjoy a country impossible for minorities to live in. and no more than ever syria's instability threatens the security of neighboring lebanon and here to the u.s. has made it supports a new government it was a false hope that the lebanese intelligence officer was killed that murder come to widespread condemnation and of course for the international community to stay out of domestic affairs a message the international community would do well to heed a phony to prevent the region from forming into for the chaos today we're seeing the western and g.c.c. led counter revolution while at the same time on one hand the west is is proclaiming some kind of backing of people you know rights to

self-determination through this arab spring and actually what they're doing is unwinding it for them in countries like bahrain in yemen in countries like libya and in syria where the west has acts of ways thought to foment a rebellion and force regime change a reality far from the minds of those who once championed the arab spring and what it could bring. all stories from around the world this hour for you police in western kenya have quieted down the crowds of protesters indignant over the murder of a prominent local politician several people are reported killed in the clashes the riots erupted after parliamentary hopeful we'll show. by unknown assailants while travelling in time with his wife protestors blames the police polish ties with gangsters and deteriorating security. japan is accusing china of sending for government ships to the waters of a disputed archipelago the vessels are said to have headed towards the island after the japanese prime minister vowed to ramp up coastal security on monday by the

recalled along to me to get funded for their bosses as they are doing for the last fifteen years but overnight that just stopped the banks just stop lending to the to the customers and i'm thinking have it done something wrong have they made a mistake of that up at the gas bill or triple a form bill you know it's not the people that are the problem it's the banks that have the problem try thought well i'll end of the book so that's what i did bank on dave he says although thanks to extensive red tape he's not actually allowed to call himself the bank and he's keen to differentiate himself from banks in other ways too he offers five percent on savings and he lends that money out. to his local community and no bonuses and the profits go to charity. but there just isn't a day in every town more's the pity so his isn't a model which could be rolled out nationwide in its current form but financial experts say lessons can be learnt for

a healthier banking system one point is clear and this is a point that the bank made in a way is that banking has just moved too far away from its roots and its basic need to understand to a saving which has been. highly leveraged gains a lasting. dates ultimate goal is to bring banking back to its roots no more faceless conglomerates where computers and mavericks make the decisions and the one percent pockets unimaginable bonuses instead of local banks the local people run by the community to benefit the community it's not a new idea in fact it's how banking used to be before the mega bucks and mega banks stepped in and dave still taking to get some political support you have to take save us money and invest it in real productive activity to take responsibility for

doing it which is not the way the bank currently works in his comic kind of crazy way showing the way to a better banking system which is responsible. in touch with entrepreneurship which actually could be the basis for going forward there's certainly got to be some way forwards as wave after wave of scandal hits the financial sector banking on dave and others like him looks more and more attractive one of the sayings i usually people who rob banks go to person bank to real people get paid bonuses to stop laura smith r.t. birmingham. and let's now get over to casey on the business desk and as we've been reporting the new york stock financial markets were closed for a second day then because of hurricane sandy is actually right you know traders have once again been told to stay safe stay home because the financial district is now simply folded on the estimated cost of this storm is looking like twenty

billion dollars right now it's a serious situation is that because of damages to build a in the absence of work isn't the right as well and let's check out asia and see what happened there because we have the bank of japan's decision to force stimulus for the second time in two months that happens about an arrow guy they're doing it to shore up the economy but they had a negative response in the session today as you can see despite encouraging corporate results from the likes of shop to check out some exchange rates to go to europe now heading north now the european actually is they'll begin trading in the next thirty minutes or so meanwhile you can see the ruble though still low against the euro the dollar it was a shaky start for the russian equities we have a look at this hour they seem to be staging a bit of a comeback and not really quite sure why i can tell you though oil is

down at the moment and also want to say that the trading volumes are expected to be still rather thin on the ground save another less we are looking modest gains this hour not to mess to the news that the russian president vladimir putin has requested that gas probably get started on the eastern pipeline to the davis stock right away because gas monopoly will invest around thirty eight billion dollars into the projects a third of that money will be spent on developing a gas field in the republic where the thirty two hundred kilometer link will begin and is expected to be finished by twenty seven to. now the pipeline will provide russia's east with more gas as well as allow the country to set up a liquefied natural gas supplies to the asia pacific maybe on russia has a lot c privatized a should a process of its biggest seaport n c s p now the state has started talks with

are to. be soon which brightened. from fines to pressure. screws totty don't come. i am max guys are welcome to the kaiser report another demonic armed robber went on a loading spray in jefferson county alabama this week now this time it wasn't actually jamie diamond and we know it was not him because this robber actually jumped off

a cliff. what remorse or fear or drove them to jump off the cliff who knows but obviously something jamie diamond does and those are human emotions and he was also arrested. max yes this is the headline armed robber in demonic mask shoots customer flees store with money then falls off the cliff and breaks his back before having leg amputated a man shot a customer who followed him in jefferson county alabama police deputy said i would like to think that maybe he jumped off that cliff because every morse but i can't give him that much credit so two things max first of all my handy little phone here the auto correct when i write jamie diamond it writes jamie dimon rewrites it to demon so i was thinking maybe that's what happened with this headline here about the demonic mask we had a jamie diamond mask and was just looting or maybe it was jamie diamond. before the

robbery and then he was scared he broke his leg and then it was amputated that's correct so the analogy to the bankers on wall street or the city of london would be that they are stealing money from folks and we would want them to jump off a building break their leg and be amputated. well jefferson county alabama is bankrupt because of jamie diamond and j.p. morgan selling them interest rate swaps on their sewage system that ended up costing them like many times over what the cost of the sewage system was so perhaps even this man robbed some sort of shot because he was broke because he had to pay the sewage fee to jamie diamond but the other thing is the police deputy he would never talk like that he did he say this referring to jamie diamond when jamie dimon bankrupted the entire county by tens of millions of dollars i would like to think that maybe he jumped off that cliff because of remorse but i can't give him that much cry.
